The holiday for schools and educational institutions was ordered by His

for Thursday Nov.28 - enjoy the long weekend!" said Knowledge and Human
Development Authority in Dubai in a tweet.

Many schools in the UAE have announced a two-day extended weekend to
mark the 42nd UAE National Day, which falls on Monday (December 2),
while some have given an additional day off making it a three-day
break, Emirates 24|7 Senior Reporter Sneha May Francis added earlier.

Some Dubai schools have altered their school calendar and shifted the
holidays from December 2-3 to December 1-2, in line with the public
sector holidays.
